This privacy policy explains how this website collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our independent horse racing bookmakers comparison guide. We are committed to safeguarding your privacy in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Information We Collect
We do not require registration, login, or any form of account creation to access our content. We do not collect personal information such as your name, email address, telephone number, or payment details through this website.
When you visit this site, certain technical data may be collected automatically through server logs and analytics tools. This includes your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, time and date of access, and approximate geographic location derived from your IP address. This data is collected for the purpose of understanding how visitors use our content and improving the quality of the site.
How We Use Your Information
Technical data collected through analytics is used to monitor website performance, identify technical errors, understand which content is most useful to visitors, and improve the overall user experience. We do not use this data to identify individual visitors, build personal profiles, or make automated decisions that affect you.
Legal Basis for Processing
Under UK GDPR, we process technical visitor data on the basis of legitimate interests. Our legitimate interest is to operate and improve an informational website that provides independent bookmaker comparison data to UK horse racing enthusiasts. We have assessed that this processing does not override your fundamental rights and freedoms, given the limited nature of the data collected and the absence of any personal identification.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
This website uses cookies and similar technologies. Full details of which cookies we use, their purposes, and how to manage your preferences are set out in our separate Cookie Policy.
Third-Party Links
Our content contains links to external websites, including bookmaker sites, regulatory bodies such as the Gambling Commission, responsible gambling organisations such as BeGambleAware and GamStop, industry reports, and news sources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites. Each linked site operates under its own privacy policy, and we encourage you to review those policies before providing any personal information.
Data Retention
Server log data and anonymised analytics data are retained for a maximum of 26 months, after which they are automatically deleted. No personally identifiable records are created or stored beyond the technical logs described above.
Data Sharing
We do not sell, trade, or rent visitor data to third parties. Anonymised, aggregated analytics data may be processed by third-party analytics providers for the sole purpose of helping us understand site performance. These providers are contractually bound to process data only on our instructions and in compliance with applicable data protection law.
International Transfers
Where analytics providers process data outside the United Kingdom, such transfers are protected by appropriate safeguards as required by UK GDPR, including standard contractual clauses or adequacy decisions recognised by the UK government.
Your Rights
Under UK GDPR, you have the right to request access to any personal data we hold about you, request correction of inaccurate data, request deletion of your data, object to processing based on legitimate interests, request restriction of processing, and lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office if you believe your data protection rights have been infringed. The ICO can be contacted through their website at ico.org.uk.
Children’s Privacy
This website contains content related to gambling and betting, which is restricted to individuals aged 18 and over in the United Kingdom. We do not knowingly collect any data from individuals under the age of 18. If you believe that a minor has accessed this site, no personal data will have been collected beyond standard server logs, which do not identify individuals.
